Is polyester a deal breaker?

Hey, I am looking to buy strat - I have been looking at Fender Highway one and the classic player 60s strat. Which do you think is better - do you think that the polyester finish on the CP 60s is a deal breaker compared to highway ones satin nitro finish. I play blues mainly (clapton, SRV etc...) and RHCP kinda stuff if that helps.
